i think it's around 65% divorce now days. I know a few years ago in the 90's it was around 50%. When the economy is down that is when divorces normally rise b/c of job losses & $ stress.

The divorce rate is nationally 50%. It is 60% and higher in southern california and in the bible belt. It is under 10% for swingers. Probably closer to 5%.

religion makes solid marriages. I think a large portion of divorces occur for people who get divorced multiple times.

50% of marriages end in divorce. People don't take the sanctity of marriage as serious as they used to.
